Farsightedness is often characterized by an eye that is too \u201cshort\u201d. Vision is blurrier up close than at a distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is often present from an early age and can sometimes correct spontaneously as the child grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If it persists into adulthood, the hyperopia can be corrected by making the cornea more curved using laser treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hyperopia can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery, which shifts the projection of the image onto the retina so that vision becomes sharp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are several signs and symptoms including: permanent strabismus or only when the child is tired, leading to rubbing the eyes, lack of interest in school with a crooked posture when writing, the child holds books too close to the face leading to nausea after reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
